Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-align-3] `grid-*-gap` should be aliases instead of shorthands (#8014)

The CSS Working Group just discussed ``[css-align-3] `grid-*-gap` should be aliases instead of shorthands``, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Make grid*gap properties be legacy name aliases`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;jarhar> oriol: so we had the case with grid that we initially added the grid properties but then we wanted to ? as gap and then the currently the specification that grid gap should be a hsorthand of gap<br>
&lt;jarhar> oriol: however, but firefox and webkit implement it not as a hsorthand but as an alias<br>
&lt;jarhar> oriol: both cases basically have the same behavior but if you set a variable to the grid gap property, then you try to read the value of the gap property, if they are aliasses then you get the ? otherwise you get the emptry string<br>
&lt;jarhar> oriol: if it gets set to an internal ? value<br>
&lt;emilio> s/?/pending substitution/<br>
&lt;jarhar> oriol: and then i think that doing show interest or ended up doing it as an alias i dont remember the situation<br>
&lt;jarhar> dbaron: it is already done and shipping in 125<br>
&lt;jarhar> oriol: the propsoed resolution would be that grid gap should be an alias of gap and not a shorthand<br>
&lt;jarhar> oriol: not sure if i missed anything<br>
&lt;iank_> make the spec fiction, non-fiction :)<br>
&lt;jarhar> miriam: so thats the proposed resolution and is also whats now shipping?<br>
&lt;jarhar> dbaron: yes it is now shipping in 3 engines<br>
&lt;jarhar> dbaron: we added it to the agenda around the same time we made the change and it took some time to come to the meeting<br>
&lt;jarhar> miriam: great, lets resolve on the thing that all the engines do<br>
&lt;jarhar> fantasai: make grid gap aliases<br>
&lt;fantasai> PROPOSED: Make grid*gap properties be legacy name aliases<br>
&lt;fantasai> RESOLVED: Make grid*gap properties be legacy name aliases<br>
